Agenda:
Cooperating with NZCS
Server management is a bit of a mess. Blade with new hard drive was installed months ago, thought it was all done, turns out there's no network connection and nobody thought to tell the committee so we could get this sorted out.
Motion to donate $20 to Methodist centre
JamesPluck:BryceUtting
Did anyone tell Methodist Centre? Receptionist mentioned we hadn't picked up our deposit, I told her we'd decided to make it a donation. This probably should have been in writing though.
WlugSurvey recommendation
Send out a letter to all Waikato IT businesses. If they support or use Linux or FLOSS, we'd like them to create a wiki page and link to it (I see we already have CategoryCompany, perhaps we could have a more detailed and categorised CommercialSupport? page or something? Specifically an easy place to find commercial support for FLOSS in the Waikato. And also invite them to make a booking for SFD. We should charge for tables to help cover other costs? How do Trade Shows normally work this?

JohnBillings: I went it was good. I talked to Dr. Nick from the maths dept, Alice from Graphic Design dept, Shane from WAND, Sally Jo, and Olena the google intern. I asked them all to talk to their students and colleagues about the LUG and getting involved. Talked to Sally Jo about collaborating on getting speakers down, and I pointed her to IdeasForFutureMeetings page, and I put some of the ideas she suggested there.
